Since you asked:

Personally, I'm generally in favour of it.

The logistics of how many people will start using it when and for what
are a bit overrated, in my opinion. If something has merit as a
distinguisher, it has merit whether one person uses it or a million.

That said, your George Long is an interesting example as it has some
similarities. Proper nouns in general act differently from "words".

Arguably, perhaps "Hosszú György" is not Hungarian and is not, in
fact, in any language at all but is instead a label.
